Michelle Dempsey, Title 19 Specialist in CT

Michelle Dempsey, Title 19 Specialist in CT Michelle Dempsey guides families through the complex Medicaid application process to help seniors pay nursing home & long term care costs in CT.

Title XIX, or Medicaid, can help pay for long term care, nursing home and home care expenses for the elderly and disabled. The rules can be complex, especially those for a married couple. In addition, the amount of documentation needed for the application in the State of CT is extensive, and the process itself can be frustrating and stretch on for months. I've worked in this field for more than 18

years and submitted over 200 applications while working for an attorney who specialized in elder care. Knowing what the rules and requirements are for the various programs, I can make sure you meet the program qualifications and help you and your family through the application process.

✔️ Avoiding penalties
✔️ Less stress later

Waiting often means fewer choices and more pressure.

It’s Not Just Income That Matters 💰

Title 19 approval isn’t as simple as “making too much” or “too little.”

One misstep can delay everything. 🚫

They fail because of paperwork mistakes.

Missing documents.

💸 Most people don’t realize this…

When one spouse enters long-term care, the financial rules change overnight.

Accounts, income, and access can all shift.

Not because the system is unfair-

But because it’s complicated...

❤️ “Can my spouse stay in our home if I need nursing care?”

Yes, often, they can.

The “community spouse” rules are designed to prevent displacement.

But the details matter… a lot.

⏳ “What is the 5-year lookback and why does it matter?”

Medicaid reviews your financial history for 60 months.

That means:
⚠️ Gifts to family
⚠️ Transferred assets
⚠️ Unplanned moves

Can all impact eligibility.

Timing matters more than people think.

The Biggest Myth

❌ Myth: You have to be broke to qualify for Medicaid

✔️ Reality: There are legal protections for spouses
